Summary

Anthony Howie Waye is someone I’ve always wanted to do a podcast with, and finally—during a two-week trip to California this month with his daughter—Howie came over to hang out for the day, and we recorded a pod. We covered a lot in this one, from the start of Howie’s BMX career to riding for GT in the U.S., and then becoming the biggest name and a dominant Pro in Australia during the late ’80s and into the ’90s. We talk about him having to miss the 1989 home Worlds in Australia, meeting Mike Miranda and Toby Henderson, the competition down under, and the riders he battled with—guys like Paul Adams and Lee Egan—as well as the riders he respected and followed as a fan post-career, including Warwick Stevenson, Khalen Young, Sam Willoughby, Josh Jolly, Izaac Kennedy, and more. We also get into GT, S&S Racing, his first Worlds in 1991 in Norway, racing Christophe Leveque for the first time, and landing on the cover of BMX Plus! from that same Worlds main with Leveque. We dive into his 1994 trip to the U.S., winning the ABA World Cup in Toledo, Ohio, and then winning every lap on his way to the final at the 1994 World Championships at Waterford Oaks in Michigan. He shares his thoughts leading up to the main event, what happened once the gate dropped, and tearing his ACL. We also cover the next chapter in Howie’s life after racing—coaching, his apparel brand LKYBLN, his return trip to the U.S., Dirty Fest, and so much more.
